Donald Trump is 'pure propaganda for groups like ISIS,' says the son of a terrorist involved in the 1993 World Trade Center attack

Donald Trump's rhetoric is helping groups like ISIS, says the son
of a convicted terrorist.

Business Insider spoke with Zak Ebrahim, who is an author and
speaker, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
(Ebrahim helped stage
a simulation of life as a refugee, which we
attended.)

His father, El-Sayyid Nosaid, assassinatedRabbi Meir
Kahane, the founder of the Jewish Defense League. While in
prison for that crime, he helped facilitate the logistics of
acquiring the tools used to bomb the World Trade Center in
1993.

Ebrahim's life was difficult, to say the least, after his
father was jailed. But, he managed to overcome his father's
reputation and gone on to have success as a peace activist
speaking out against terrorism.

He's now dedicated his life to trying to overcome hatred,
and promote a peaceful understanding of different
cultures.

"People will look toward whoever is
yelling the loudest. These problems cannot be solved with
bombs. You can not bomb people into a democracy. You can not
change society by force."

"Groups like ISIS use these
comments. Donald Trump was talking a few weeks ago about how we
need to kill their families. What he was
advocating was killing someone like me because of what my
father had done."

"To hear a presidential
candidate say we need to kill innocent people — that is pure
propaganda for groups like ISIS. They love men like Donald
Trump. He certainly isn't working for them, but he is making
their jobs much much easier. They point to these sorts of
comments and frankly the policies that come out of these sorts
of comments."

Last month, Democratic
front-runner Hillary Clinton stirred controversy when
she claimed that the terrorist group
ISIS was "showing videos of Donald Trump" to potential
recruits. Trump subsequently demanded an apology after her
campaign couldn't point to a specific video. However, Trump was
reportedly subsequently featured in a recruitment video for
al-Shabaab, a Somalia-based extremist group linked to Al
Qaeda.
